REPORT AND OPINION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
STATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
On May 5, 2014, Portugal Telecom SGPS S.A. ("PT SGPS") subscribed and participated in Oi, SA's ("Oi") capital increase paid by means of a contribution in kind corresponding to the PT Assets, which consisted of PT SGPS Group's entire business operation with the exception of the holdings Bratel BV ("Bratel"), Bratel Brasil ("Bratel Brasil"), S.A., PTB2, S.A. ("PTB2") and Marnaz, S.A. ("Marnaz") and the investments in Oi, Contax Participações, S.A. ("Contax") and their controlling shareholders. As a result of the contribution to Oi's capital increase on May 5, 2014:
PT SGPS increased its effective interest in Oi from 23.2%, previously held through Bratel Brasil, to an economic interest of 39.7%, held through a total direct interest of 35.8% (32.8% in PT SGPS and 3.0% in Bratel Brasil) and an indirect interest of 3.9% held through the controlling shareholders of Oi;
As a result of all transactions that were required to be implemented in the context of the contribution of PT Assets in the capital increase of Oi (as described in detail in chapter 4), and the low book value of those assets in the consolidated accounts of PT SGPS, PT SGPS recorded a gain of approximately Euro 699 million (included in the results of discontinued operations), in the context of the capital increase of Oi, which primarily reflects (1) the difference between the fair value of the shares that PT SGPS received for the subscription of the capital increase of Oi (Euro 1,854 million) and the carrying value of the PT Assets (negative Euro 2,676 million) contributed in kind in the capital increase, which was partially offset by (2) the dilution effect on the previous investment in Oi held through Bratel Brasil and the effect of the remeasurement of the previous investment in Oi to the fair value implicit in the capital increase.
The results from all businesses that were contributed in Oi's capital increase were presented as discontinued operations and, accordingly, the consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the year 2013 have been restated.
Included in the PT Assets contributed by PT SGPS in the Capital Increase of Oi were short-term investments in commercial paper of Rio Forte, held by its former subsidiaries PT Portugal SGPS, SA ("PT Portugal") and Portugal Telecom International BV ("PT Finance") amounting to Euro 897 million (see chapter 4). On July 15 and 17, 2014, these instruments matured without the issuer having settled its obligations.
Following the above events, on July 28 PT SGPS and Oi announced they had reached an agreement on the final terms following the new Memorandum of Understanding announced on July 16, 2014. As part of this agreement, it was stated that PT SGPS would exchange ("Exchange") with Oi the Rio Forte Instruments amounting to Euro 897 million, in exchange for 474,348,720 common shares and 948,697,440 preferred shares of Oi ("Oi Shares Subject to the Exchange") - adjusting for the effect of grouping the shares of Oi (reverse stock split) on December 22, 2014, this corresponds to 47,434,872 common shares and 94,869,744 preferred shares - and PT SGPS would be granted an American type, non-transferable option ("Call Option") to repurchase the Oi Shares Subject to the Exchange (with an exercise price for common shares of 2.0104 reais and 1.8529 reais for preferred shares) - adjusting for the effect of grouping the shares of Oi, the price corresponds to 20.104 reais per common share and 18,529 reais per preferred share, which would be adjusted by the Brazilian interest rate CDI plus 1.5% per year. The exchange was concluded on March 30, 2015.
The stake in Oi that will not be object of the Exchange (22.8%) is classified as per NCRG 13 as a joint venture, and registered in accordance with the equity method. The remaining stake (16.9%) is classified as a non-current asset held for sale.
Apart from management of investments, the Company did not conduct directly any other business activity.
There are no outstanding amounts overdue to the Portuguese State and the Portuguese Social Security System. The Company did not enter into any material businesses or transactions with the members of its Board of Directors and the Audit Committee, except for those mentioned in Note 41 and 42 to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, 2014.
The main events of the year ended December 31, 2014 and recent developments are described in the Consolidated Annual Report of PT SGPS.
Considering that:
a) Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to Euro 175,082,979;
The Board of Directors proposes that:
a) The net loss for the year, amounting to Euro 175,082,979, be transferred to retained earnings.

(Amounts in Euro)
PT SGPS was founded on June 23, 1994 pursuant to Decree -Law No. 122/94, through the merger of the following companies: Telecom Portugal, S.A., Telefones de Lisboa e Porto (TLP), S.A. ("TLP") and Teledifusora de Portugal, S.A. ("TDP"), with reference to January 1, 1994. As a result of the privatization process, between June 1, 1995 and December 4, 2000, PT SGPS' share capital is mainly owned by private shareholders. On December 12, 2000, Portugal Telecom, S.A. changed its name to Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A. ("PT SGPS") and its operation to a capital management company.
On May 5, 2014, Oi underwent a capital increase amounting to 13,960 million reais, composed of: (1) 5,710 million reais (Euro 1,750 million based on the exchange rate as of February 21, 2014) corresponding to 1,045,803,934 ordinary shares and 1,720,252,731 preferred shares subscribed by PT SGPS, through a contribution in kind of the PT Assets, defined as the PT SGPS's 100% stake in PT Portugal, which as of that date included all operational businesses of the PT SGPS Group, with the exception of the subsidiaries Bratel BV, Bratel Brasil, PTB2 and Marnaz. and of the investment in Oi, Contax and their controlling shareholders; and (2) 8,250 million reais in cash subscribed by investors other than PT SGPS. The valuation of PT Assets of 5,710 million reais was determined on the basis of the valuation of PT Portugal by Banco Santander (Brasil), SA on the date of the share capital increase. As a result of PT SGPS' contribution for the capital increase of Oi:
Until May 5, 2014, PT SGPS and its subsidiaries and joint ventures operated primarily in the telecommunications and multimedia sectors in Portugal, Brazil and other countries in Africa and Asia.
On March 28, 2011, PT SGPS completed the initial acquisition of investments in Telemar Norte Leste, S.A. ("Telemar"), which belongs to the Oi Group, and Contax, for the amount of 8,437 million reais, and entered into several agreements with the controlling shareholders of these companies. As a result of this transaction, PT SGPS acquired an effective stake of 25.3% in TmarPart (parent company of the Oi Group on that date) and 14.1% in Contax. Within the scope of this acquisition, PT SGPS, AG Telecom Participações ("AG") and LF Tel, SA ("LF"), two of the main shareholders of TmarPart, the controlling shareholder of Oi, entered into a shareholders' agreement with unanimous voting procedures for their representatives in the Board of Directors of TmarPart regarding the strategic, financial and operating decisions relating to the activity of the Oi Group. Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of NCRF 13 Interests in Joint Ventures and Investments in Associates ("NCRF 13"), the Company concluded that it contractually shares the control of TmarPart, therefore the Oi investment was classified as a joint venture and thus accounted for in accordance with the equity method.
On October 1, 2013, PT SGPS, Oi, AG, LF, Bratel Brasil, Pasa Participações S.A. ("Pasa"), EDSP 75 Participações ("EDSP75"), (which jointly with TmarPart are referred to as "Oi Holdings"), Banco Espírito Santo, S.A. ("BES") and Nivalis Holding B.V. ("RS Holding") signed a memorandum of understanding outlining the key principles for a proposed merger between PT SGPS, Oi and the Oi Holdings (the "Business Combination"), in order to constitute a single, integrated Brazilian listed company.
On February 19, 2014, PT SGPS and Oi signed final contractual instruments related to the Business Combination between the parties. These documents defined and regulated the stages necessary to complete this Business Combination, that include the main transactions described below, some of which have since been concluded:
On May 5, 2014, Oi made effective a capital increase with a total issue of 2.142.279.524 common shares at 2.17 reais per share and 4.284.559.049 preferred shares at 2.00 reais per share, and, on that same date, BTG Pactual, acting as the Stabilizing Agent of the Public Offering and in accordance with the provisions of Article 24 of the CVM Instruction 400, partially exercised the option to place an additional 120,265,046 common shares and 240,530,092 preferred shares issued by Oi; the total amount of the capital increase, including the option exercised by BTG Pactual, amounted to 13,960 million reais, consisting of (1) 5,710 million reais (Euro 1,750 million at the exchange rate on February 21, 2014) of assets contributed in kind by PT SGPS, based on the evaluation of the PT Assets made by Banco Santander (Brasil), S.A., who subscribed to 1,045,803,934 common shares and 1,720,252,731 preferred shares issued by Oi, and (2) 8,250 million reais in cash obtained from other investors who subscribed the remaining 1,216,740,636 common shares and 2,804,836,410 preferred shares issued by Oi; the PT SGPS stake in the capital increase of Oi, carried out through the contribution in kind of all operating assets directly or indirectly held by the PT SGPS Group and of the corresponding liabilities,
except for the shares of Oi, Contax and of Bratel BV (PT Assets), valued at the amount of 5,710 million reais (Euro 1,750 million), was approved by a majority of 99.87% of the votes present in the General Shareholders' Meeting of PT SGPS held on March 27, 2014.
One of the necessary steps required to implement the business combination consisted of the capital increase of Oi, S.A. on May 5, 2014, as explained above. As part of this capital increase, PT SGPS began, in late 2013, a process of restructuring its investments with the goal of concentrating them directly or indirectly in PT Portugal. To this end, PT SGPS and PT Portugal realized the following corporate transactions before the capital increase of Oi:
On May 2, 2014, PT SGPS sold to PT Móveis, for a total amount of Euro 2,240 million (Note 7), the 100% interest in PT Participações, SGPS, S.A. ("PT Participações"), a company that indirectly held a 75% stake in the Africatel Holdings BV Group, which in turn held (directly or indirectly) the Group's business in Africa. Additionally, on December 2013, PT Participações, indirectly through Africatel GmBH, acquired from PT SGPS its 75% stake in Africatel Holdings BV for an amount of Euro 1,791 million. In 2014 the parties agreed to correct the selling price to Euro 1,141 million, an Euro 650 million reduction which was deducted from the sale price of PT Participações, therefore PT SGPS received a net amount of Euro 1,590 million (Notes 4 and 7) within the scope of the disposal of PT Participações.
On May 5, 2014, PT SGPS sold to PT Portugal, for a total amount of Euro 255 million (Notes 4 and 7), its 100% stake in PT Finance.
The impacts of these operations in terms of cash flows, capital gains and changes in financial investments are discriminated in Notes 4, 7, 13 and 19.
On May 5, 2014, directly and indirectly, PT SGPS held investments in debt securities issued by Rio Forte Investments, S.A. ("Rio Forte", a holding company of the Espírito Santo Group with registered address in Luxembourg essentially for their non-financial services) amounting to Euro 897 million, which formed part of the PT Assets and were contributed in the capital increase of Oi. The composition of the outstanding amount as of May 5, 2014 was as follows:
On July 15 and 17, 2014 the maturity of these instruments occurred, but the issuer did not settle its obligations.
Rio Forte requested the adoption of the controlled management regime in accordance with the Luxembourg legislation, although it was their understanding that they did not have the financial capacity to meet their financial commitments, a situation which was thought to be the most protective of their creditors' interests, and that was rejected by the Luxembourg court. As a result of that rejection, Rio Forte was declared insolvent by the Luxemburg Court on December 8, 2014, and went into liquidation on the same date.
On July 28, 2014, following the default by Rio Forte, PT SGPS and Oi agreed on the main terms for the exchange of debt securities of Rio Forte held on that date by PT Finance and PT Portugal, amounting to Euro 897 million for 47,434,872 common shares and 94,869,744 preferred shares of Oi (after the reverse stock split done by Oi in December 2014) held on that date by PT SGPS. On September 8, 2014, this agreement was approved in the General Shareholders' Meeting of PT SGPS and following such approval the parties involved concluded the respective final contracts, the terms of which established that:
PT SGPS would exchange with Oi the Rio Forte Instruments in exchange for 47,434,872 common shares plus 94,869,744 preferred shares of Oi, representing 16.9% of its share capital;
An American non-transferable purchase option ("Call Option") would be attributed to PT SGPS in order to reacquire the Oi Shares that are the Object of the Exchange (with the exercise price of 20.104 reais for common shares and 18.529 reais for preferred shares after the Oi reverse stock split), which would be adjusted by CDI plus 1.5% per year;
On December 31, 2014, as stated above, execution of the exchanges and the purchase option were pending approval by the CVM. On March 4, 2015, the CVM approved the above contracts, conditional upon their approval at Oi's General Shareholders' Meeting, which occurred on March 26, 2015. The exchange has been executed on March 30, 2015.
On March 24, 2015, PT SGPS came to an agreement with Oi, PT Portugal, PT Finance and TmarPart for the Private Instrument of Assignment of Rights and Obligations and Other Fees ("Assignment Agreement"), by means of which PT Portugal transferred the Rio Forte Instruments to PT Finance, and conceded to PT Finance all pertaining rights and obligations in the terms of the Exchange Agreement ("Assignment").
The Assignment Agreement also stipulated that the delivery of the Oi shares in the Exchange could be implemented by means of the transfer, by PT SGPS, of Oi's shares object of the Exchange, or ADSs (American Depositary Shares), representative of Oi's shares object of the Exchange, at PT SGPS's criteria. Oi's ADR Program is regulated by (1) the Deposit Contract (Ordinary Shares), signed on February 17, 2012, as amended, between Oi, the Bank of New York Mellon, in the quality of depositary, and all periodical holders of ADSs, issued in the terms of the abovementioned Agreement; and (2) by the Deposit Contract (Preferential Shares) signed on February 27, 2012, as amended, between Oi, the Depositary, and all periodical holders of ADSs, issued in the terms of the abovementioned Agreement.
On March 30, 2015, the Exchange was concluded, by means of which PT SGPS (1) deposited Oi's shares object of the Exchange with the Depositary; and (2) instructed the Depositary to register the transfer of 47.434.872 ADSs ON and 94.896.744 ADSs PN to PT Finance, representing Oi's shares object of the Exchange.
Therefore, on March 30, 20115, PT SGPS transferred the ADSs Object of the Exchange to PT Finance, and PT Finance transferred to PT SGPS the Rio Forte Instruments in the total main amount of Euro 897 million.
Additionally, on March 30, 2015, the Call Option was effective.
On March 31, 2015, the Board of Directors of PT SGPS concluded negotiations with the other shareholders pertaining to Oi to the extent of signing a new agreement between the parties in relation to the company structure and the administration of Oi. In view of the impossibility of implementing migration from CorpCo to the segment called Novo Mercado of the BM&FBovespa by March 31, 2015, the deadline stipulated in the agreements signed on September 8th 2014, it became essential to sign a new agreement, which allowed Oi to anticipate the principal benefits announced to shareholders at the time that Oi's capital increase was realized on May 5, 2014, without, however, failing to make every effort to migrate to the Novo Mercado. Thus, the parties agreed to a new company structure model and administration of Oi ("New Structure"), that in addition to the benefits and objectives disclosed before, are characterized by the following:
A change ("Amendment") was signed to the Share Purchase Option Contract and Other Agreements entered into on September 8, 2014 such as the above, that will enable PT SGPS to liquidate its Oi share purchase option through sale on the market, giving Oi the right of first refusal in the acquisition of the Option if PT SGPS decides to sell it to third parties without previous consent by Oi. The Amendment is subject to approval of Oi's general shareholders' meeting and, if applicable, to the CVM's approval. Oi is committed to call a general meeting to decide on the Amendment and Oi's reference shareholders are committed to vote favorably for approval of the Amendment until August 31st 2015, to be completed until September 30th 2015.
After signing the new agreement with Oi and the execution of the Exchange on March 30, 2015, PT SGPS has as main asset investment 27.5% (direct and indirect interest) in Oi. Additionally, PT SGPS still holds the Rio Forte Instruments, and the Call Option on 47,434,872 common shares and 94,869,744 preferred shares of Oi.
These financial statements are relative to the Company individually and were prepared according to the generally accepted accounting principles in Portugal (Note 2), and the financial statements are recorded according to the equity equivalence method, as referred to in Note 3.4. These individual financial statements considered the effect of the consolidation of the equity and results of PT SGPS's holdings, as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, on PT SGPS's equity and net profit for the fiscal years ended on those dates, based on the respective financial statements, but not the effect of full consolidation of assets, liabilities, expenses and income.
In accordance with current legislation, the Company prepared consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union ("EU"), published separately. These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the companies in which PT SGPS holds management control.
The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on April 30, 2015 and are still subject to approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders under the commercial legislation in Portugal.
These financial statements were prepared based on Decree-law nº. 158/2009, dated 13 July, and in accordance with the Conceptual Structure, Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards ("NCRF") and Interpretative Standards, as approved by Notices nº 15652/2009, 15653/2009 and 15655/2009 of the General-Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, dated 27 August, which make up the New Portuguese accounting system, named "Sistema de Normalização Contabilística" ("SNC").
The Company adopted NCRF for the first time in 2010 and applied for this purpose the "NCRF 3 Adoption For The First Time of NCRF" ("NCRF 3"), with the transition date being 1 January 2009 for the purposes of the presentation of these financial statements. As permitted by Decree-Law nº. 158/2009, the Company also applies the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IAS/IFRS") and related interpretations ("SIC/IFRIC") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), in order to fill in the gaps or omissions in SNC regarding specific situations of certain transactions.
The consolidated financial statements of PT SGPS are prepared, since 1 January 2005, in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union, which are applicable to the listed companies in the European Union.
On December 31, 2014, there is no difference between equity reported in these individual financial statements and equity attributable to the Company shareholders reported in the consolidated financial statements. The net income for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2014 reported in these individual accounts (in accordance with NCRF) and that reported in the consolidated accounts (in accordance with IFRS) was negative in Euro 175 million and Euro 303 million, respectively, corresponding to a difference of Euro 128 million that reflects (1) reversal of the existing differences regarding equity on December 31, 2013, of Euro 88 million, and (2) adjustments for negative cumulative currency translation adjustments amounting to Euro 40 million that were recycled to net income in the consolidated financial statements only in 2014, when these adjustments were realized upon the contribution to the capital increase of Oi. Both amounts were adjusted for the net income derived from the participation in Oi's capital increase.
These standalone financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis of accounting. The main accounting policies used in the preparation of these standalone financial statements are described below and were applied consistently.
Some accounting policies described below ceased to be directly applicable to the Company as of May 5, 2014, the date on which PT SGPS contributed the majority of its business and remaining assets and liabilities that were part of PT Assets to Oi's capital increase (Note 1). However, these policies were applicable until that date, namely, in the preparation of the 2013 financial statements.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at acquisition cost, which includes the amount paid to acquire the asset and any expenses directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for their operation.
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the month they are available for use. The depreciation rates reflect the useful life of each class of assets, as follows:
| Asset class | Years of useful life |
|---|---|
| Transportation equipment | 4 |
| Administrativeequipment | 3 - 8 |
| Other tangible fixedassets | 4 - 8 |
The gains and losses resulting from any write-off or disposal are determined by the difference between the amount received and the carrying value of the asset, and are recognized in the income statement when the write-off or disposal occurs.
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. The remaining lease contracts are considered operating leases. The classification of leases depends on the substance of the transaction and not on the form of the contract.
Assets acquired under finance leases and the corresponding liabilities are accounted for at the beginning of the contract as the lower amount between the fair value of the assets and the present value of minimum lease payments. Rents include the reimbursement of the liability and interest expense, with interest being recognized in the income statement based on a periodic interest rate over the remaining liability.
Under operating leases, rents are recognized on a straight-line basis during the period of the lease.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for based on the purchase method. On the acquisition date, the purchase price includes the following components: (a) the fair value of assets acquired; (b) the fair value of liabilities incurred; (c) the fair value of equity instruments issued by the Company in exchange for the control of the subsidiary; and (d) expenses directly attributable to the acquisition. When applicable, the purchase price includes the effect of contingent payments agreed upon under the terms of the transaction, with subsequent changes in those payments being recorded as an adjustment to goodwill.
Any excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets acquired and contingent liabilities of the acquired company, at the date of acquisition, is recorded as goodwill, in accordance with "NCRF 14 Business Combinations" ("NCRF 14"). If the acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of identifiable net assets, the difference is recorded as a gain in net income. As provided for in NCRF 3, the Company applies NCRF 14 only to acquisitions occurred after 1 January 2009.
Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment losses on an annual basis or whenever there is evidence of a potential loss of value. For impairment test purposes, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units. Any impairment loss is recognised in the income statement of the period, and cannot be reversed in a subsequent period.
Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity, generally represented by the majority of the voting rights. Associated companies are entities over which the Company has a significant influence but not control, generally represented by stakes between 20% and 50% of voting rights. Joint venture: is an economic activity with the engagement of two or more partners subject to joint control based on a contractual agreement.
Financial investments in subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures are recorded under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, financial investments are initially recorded at acquisition cost and subsequently adjusted for the changes, after the acquisition date, in the Company's share in the net assets of those entities. PT SGPS's earnings include its share in the earnings of its subsidiaries and associated companies.
Financial investments in foreign entities are translated to Euros using the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, while the Company's share in the earnings of those entities is computed based on the average exchange rates for the reported period. The effect of translation differences is recognised in shareholders' equity under the caption "Adjustments to financial assets", and is transferred to net income upon the disposal of a foreign entity or the transmission of the investment through another way. The exchange rates used in the translation of the main foreign entities (held directly or indirectly by PT SGPS) are as follows:
| 2 0 14 | 2 0 13 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Curre nc y | Closing | ba la nc e Ave ra ge | Closing | ba la nc e Ave ra ge |
| USD | 1.2141 | 1.3285 | 1.3791 | 1.3281 |
| Real | 3.2207 | 3.1211 | 3.2576 | 2.8685 |
Financial investments are evaluated whenever there is evidence they may be impaired and the related impairment losses are recorded in the income statement.
Gains obtained in transactions with subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures are eliminated proportionally to the Company's share in those entities, against a reduction in the financial investment.
Capital gains resulting from the disposal of subsidiaries and associated companies within the Group are deferred or reversed until the date these investments are disposed of to a third party. Whenever these gains are deferred, their recognition in earnings is made under the caption "Equity in earnings/(losses) of affiliated companies", on the proportion that goodwill or assets and liabilities identified in the allocation of the purchase price recorded by the acquirer is recognized in earnings.
Additional capital contributions and loans granted to subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures are recorded at nominal value, reduced by adjustments for estimated losses, if applicable.
The Company records its revenue and expenses as they are generated or incurred, regardless of when they are received or paid, respectively.
Income tax expense corresponds to the sum of current and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized in earnings except when they relate to items recorded directly in shareholders' equity, in which case they are also recorded in shareholders' equity.
The current income tax is computed based on the estimated taxable income for corporate income tax purposes, based on the statutory tax rate in Portugal, which is increased through a municipal tax and/or through an additional state surcharge depending on the collectible profit of the year (Note 10).
The income tax expense recorded in the financial statements was determined in accordance with "NCRF 25 Income Taxes". In determining income tax expense for the year, besides the current tax based on profit beforetax adjusted in accordance with the tax legislation, it is also considered the effects of temporary differences between income before tax and taxable income originated in the year or in preceding years.
Deferred taxes correspond to the temporary differences between assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the related amounts for taxable purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed and evaluated annually, using the tax rates which are expected to be in force at the date of reversal of these temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recorded only when there is a reasonable expectation of sufficient future tax profits which allow for their use. As at the balance sheet date the Company conducts a reassessment of the temporary differences originating deferred tax assets, in order to record deferred tax assets not recognized previously and/or to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets that are recognized, based on the current estimate of its recoverable amount.
Accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortized cost, based on the effective interest rate method, reduced by impairment losses.
Impairment losses for doubtful accounts receivable are computed based on the evaluation of the estimated risks resulting from the non-collection of receivables and are recorded in the income statement.
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered primarily through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the subject transaction is highly probable and the asset or group of assets is available for immediate sale in its present condition. The sale should be completed within one year as from the date the asset was classified as held for sale.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the assets' previous carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
The Company recognizes provisions when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where any of the above mentioned criteria is not accomplished, the Company discloses the event as a contingent liability, unless the cash outflow is remote.
Provisions are recognized for an amount corresponding to the present value of the best estimate, at the reporting date, of the resources needed to settle the obligation. That estimate is determined considering the risks and uncertainties associated with the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each year and adjusted for in order to reflect the best estimate as of that date.
Loans obtained are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently presented at amortized cost, based on the effective interest method.
Exchangeable bonds issued by PT SGPS are recognized as compound instruments, comprising the following two components: (i) the present value of the debt, estimated through the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible debt, which is recorded as a financial liability; and (ii) the fair value of the embedded option for the holder to convert the bond into equity, which is recorded directly in shareholders' equity. As of the balance sheet date, the debt component is recognized at amortized cost and the shareholders' equity component is recognized at the initial value.
Equity swap contracts on own shares that include an option exercisable by PT SGPS for physical settlement are recognised as a financial liability and a corresponding reduction of shareholders' equity, and are accounted for as an acquisition of treasury shares on the inception date of the contract.
Realizable assets and liabilities due over a period greater than one year from the balance sheet date are classified under non-current assets and non-current liabilities, respectively, at present value.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies (different from the Company´s domestic currency) are translated to Euros at the exchange rates prevailing at the time the transactions are made. Assets and liabilities in foreign currency for which there is no agreement for fixing an exchange rate are translated to Euros using the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Favourable or unfavourable exchange rate differences arising from the differences between exchange rates in force at the date of the respective transactions and those applying on the date of collection or payment or at the balance sheet date are recorded as gains and losses in the income statement.
Assets and liabilities as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 were translated into Euros using the following exchange rates to the Euro reported by the Portuguese Central Bank:
| Curre nc y | 2 0 14 | 2 0 13 |
|---|---|---|
| USD | 1.2141 | 1.3791 |
| Real | 3.2207 | 3.2576 |
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet when the Company becomes part of the corresponding contractual terms, and are classified in the following categories: (a) at cost or amortized cost; and (b) at fair value, with the respective changes being recorded in the income statement.
Assets and liabilities are classified at cost or amortized cost if they: (a) have a defined maturity; (b) have a fixed or determined income; and (c) do not represent or include a derivative financial instrument.
Assets and liabilities classified in this category are measured at amortized cost reduced by accumulated impairment losses (for financial assets) and correspond primarily to the following asset and liability captions included in the Company's balance sheet:
Amortized cost is determined through the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the one that discounts the estimated future payments and receipts, during the term of the financial instrument, to the carrying value of the financial asset or liability.
All the remaining financial assets and liabilities not included in the category "cost or amortized cost" are recognized at fair value. These financial assets and liabilities correspond primarily to interest and exchange rate derivative financial instruments.
The changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized through shareholders' equity or profit and loss, depending on whether those derivatives meet or not the criteria for hedge accounting, respectively. These changes in fair value are recorded under the caption "Increases/(reductions) in fair value" (Note 22).
Financial assets included under the caption "cost or amortized cost" are subject to impairment tests by the end of each year. Such assets are impaired when there is clear evidence that, as a result of one or more events occurred after their initial recognition, their future estimated cash flows will be affected.
For assets measured at amortized cost, the impairment loss corresponds to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of the revised future estimated cash flows discounted using the initial effective interest rate. For financial assets measured at cost, the impairment loss corresponds to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the best estimate of the asset's fair value.
Subsequently, if there is a reduction in the impairment loss as a result of an event occurred after the initial recognition of the loss, the impairment should be reversed through earnings. The reversal is recognized up to the limit of the amount that would be recorded (at amortized cost) if the loss had not been initially recognized.
The Company derecognizes financial assets when its contractual rights to obtain the asset's cash flows expire, or when it transfers to another entity all the significant risks and rewards associated with the ownership of those assets. The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when the corresponding obligation is settled, cancelled or expires.
When preparing the financial statements in accordance with the NCRF, the Company's Board of Directors uses estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are considered probable under the circumstances on which the estimates are based, or as a result of new information or more experience. The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements are as follows:
Estimates used are based on the best information available during the preparation of financial statements, although future events, neither controlled nor foreseeable by the Company, could occur and have an impact on those estimates. In accordance with "NCRF 4 Accounting Policies, Changes in Estimates and Errors" ("NCRF
4"), changes to these estimates that occur after the date of the financial statements are recognized in net income, using a prospective methodology.
Events occurred after the balance sheet date that provide additional information about conditions existing at the balance sheet date are reflected in the financial statements. Events occurred after the balance sheet date that provide information about conditions that occur after the balance sheet date are not reflected in the financial statements, but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, if material.
The caption "Cash and cash equivalents" of the statement of cash flows includes cash on hand and bank deposits readily convertible to a known amount of cash.
The Company is exposed to a liquidity risk if its sources of funding, including cash balances, operating cash inflows, divestments, credit lines and cash flows obtained from financing operations, do not match its financing needs, such as operating and financing outflows, investments, shareholder remuneration and debt repayments. The Company understands that it has the ability to fulfill its obligations.
The cash flow statement was prepared in accordance with "NCRF 2 Statement of Cash Flows", with the following aspects being worth mentioning.

(a) As a result of the contribution for the capital increase in Oi performed on May 5, 2014, PT SGPS acquired a direct interest in Oi of 32.8%. The initial investment in Oi was measured at fair value of the shares implicit in the capital increase (BRL 2.17 per common share and BRL 2.00 per preferred share), in the amount of BRL 5,710 million, equivalent to Euro 1,854 million at the exchange rate on that date (Note 19).
(b) On May 2, 2014, PT SGPS acquired from PT Móveis, for a total amount of Euro 4,195 million (Notes 1 and 4), the 100% interest in Bratel BV, the company that indirectly held through Bratel Brasil the investment in Grupo Oi before the aforementioned capital increase, since this investment was not part of the net assets that were to be transferred to Oi in the capital increase. As a result of this transaction, a loss of Euro 50 million was ascertained that was included in the heading "Losses in subsidiaries" (Note 19), since the subsidiary PT Móveis recognized on that date a capital gain of the same amount.
(c) In February 2014, the Company subscribed a capital increase of Bratel Brasil by payment in kind of carved-out assets of PT Brasil, as explained below. As a result of this transaction, the Company holds an interest of 6.55% in Bratel Brasil.

(a) On May 2, 2014, PT SGPS disposed of PT Móveis for the amount Euro 2,240 million (Note 1), its interest of 100% in PT Participações, having determined a deferred capital gain of Euro 69 million (Note 13) in this intra-group transaction. The Company only received Euro 1,590 million (Notes 1 and 4), since an amount of Euro 650 million (Note 1) was deducted in connection with the adjustment to the sale price of Africatel Holdings BV, as explained in Note 1.
(b) On May 5, 2014, PT SGPS sold to PT Portugal, for the amount Euro 255 million (Notes 1 and 4), its interest of 100% in PT Finance, having determined a deferred capital gain of Euro 5 million (Note 13) in this intra-group transaction.
(c) In February 2014, a carve-out of the investments held by PT Brasil and CTX Participações and Contax was made, which the Company delivered to Bratel Brasil as a contribution in kind for a capital increase of the latter entity. As a result of this transaction, the Company obtained an interest of 6.55% in Bratel Brasil, which was valued at a book value of the carved.out assets of PT Brasil, amounting to Euro 181 million. In March 2014, PT SGPS sold to Bratel BV, for the amount Euro 172 million (Note 4), the interest of 6.55% in Bratel Brasil, with a loss of Euro 9 million (Note 19), corresponding to the difference between the selling price and the book value of the investment.
(d) In March 2014, PT SGPS sold to PT Portugal, for their book value, the 100% interests it held in these entities (Notes 1 and 4).
(e) In January 2014, PT SGPS disposed of the interest it held in Páginas Amarelas.
(f) In December 2013, within the scope of the corporate reorganization of the Group (Note 1), the Company disposed of the 75% interest in Africatel Holdings BV to Africatel GmBH for the total amount Euro 1,791.0 million (Note 4), including supplementary capital of Euro 1.7 million (Note 4), having obtained a deferred capital gain of Euro 1,169 million corresponding to the difference between the selling price and the book value of this investment. In 2014, as provided for in an agreement, the parties agreed to a revision of this selling price of some Euro 650 million (Note 13), an amount that was deducted from the initially assessed deferred capital gain and was settled within the scope of the disposal of PT Participações, as mentioned above.
(g) At the end of 2013, also within the scope of the corporate reorganization of the Group (Note 1), the Company disposed of the financial interests it held in these wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, subsidiary entities, for their book values, by PT SGPS (Note 4). The INESC sales value was only received in 2014.
(h) Within the scope of an agreement concluded with PT Portugal, PT SGPS received an advanced payment in 2013 on the sale of the financial interest it held in this entity, therefore this investment was classified as a non-current asset held for sale on December 31, 2013. The completion of this transaction was pending approval of the Insurance Institute of Portugal ("Instituto de Seguros de Portugal2), which was obtained in 2014.
In the fiscal years 2014 and 2013, the movements in equity holdings in subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures resulting from the use of the equity method was recorded as follows:

(previously: TMN – Telecomunicações Móveis Nacionais, S.A.); PT Contact – Telemarketing e Serviços de Informação, S.A.; PT Imobiliária, S.A.; PT Inovação, S.A.; PT Móveis, SGPS, S.A.; PT Pro - Serviços Administrativos e de Gestão Partilhados, S.A.; PT-Sistemas de Informação, S.A.; PT Compras - Serviços de Consultoria e Negociação, S.A.; PT Participações SGPS, S.A.; PT Investimentos Internacionais – Consultoria Internacional, S.A.; PT Prestações – Mandatária de Aquisições e Gestão de Bens, S.A.; PT Portugal, SGPS, S.A.; PT Sales, S.A.; PT Centro Corporativo, S.A.; Infonet Portugal – Serviços de Valor Acrescentado, Lda; Openidea, Tecnologias de Telecomunicações e Sistemas de Informação, S.A.; PT Data Center, S.A.; PT BlueClip, S.A.; and PT Pay, S.A.. In 2014, the result of the contribution of the companies that were part of RETGS for the achievement of capital increase of Oi, the Company ceased to apply the RETGS and will therefore be taxed on an individual basis.
According to applicable, the fiscal statements are subject to revision and correction by the fiscal authorities during a period of four years (five for Social Security) except if there have been fiscal losses, or if fiscal benefits have been granted, or if audits, claims or impeachments are being performed, in which case, depending on the circumstances, those periods may be extended or suspended. The Company's Board of Directors, supported by the information given by their fiscal consultants, understands that possible fiscal contingencies should not have a significant impact in the financial statements of December 31, 2014, considering the provisions and the existing expectations at this time, regarding the resolution of the fiscal contingencies described in Note 15.
In the measuring of the expenditure pertaining to taxes payable on the period's earnings, aside from the current taxes determined on the results before taxes corrected according to the fiscal legislation, the effects resulting
from temporary differences between the fiscal and accounting base of assets and liabilities in the period or in the previous periods are also considered.

The variations in assets due to deferred taxes registered in 2013 as a counterpart of the company capital were written off in the item "Other Reserves" (Note 14.4) and correspond to the fiscal effect on the variations in the fair value of derivatives on interest rates classified as cash flow hedges.
In December 31, 2013, the assets by deferred taxes pertaining to fiscal losses which had been generated by fiscal losses in the periods of 2011, 2012 and 2013 by PT SGPS's tax consolidation regime. On 2014, the Company wrote-off the total of its deferred tax assets pertaining to fiscal losses, in the amount of Euro 208 million, since they no longer were recoverable, as a result of the transfer of RETGS companies to Oi, which had initially assessed those same fiscal losses.

The reduction in the total liabilities due to deferred taxes amount in 2014 essentially reflects the reversion of a deferred tax liability in the amount of Euro 13,143,452, corresponding to the fiscal effect on the conversion option in the convertible loan (Note 14.4), since this financing was also contributed to Oi's capital increase, on May 5, 2014, and as such, the company was taxed in this amount.

At the end of 2013, for the purpose of the business combination with Oi (Note 1), PT SGPS began a process of restructuring its financial participations with the objective of concentrating them, directly or indirectly, within PT Portugal. For this reason, several financial holdings were sold to other companies in the Group, and the respective gains in these transactions were accounted for as deferred, as per the Company's accounting policy. On May 5, 2014, following the contribution of the total of PT SGPS business to Oi's capital increase, with the exception of Oi's own investment, the deferred gains were fully reverted, contributing to the assessed gains
associated with the Oi capital increase (Note 19). The movements in deferred gains until May 5, 2014 were as follows:

As at December 31, 2014, the Company's share capital was fully paid and amounted to Euro 26,895,375, and was represented by 896,512,000 ordinary shares and 500 Class A shares, with a nominal value of 3 cents of Euro each.
At the PT SGPS Annual General Meeting held on July 26, 2011, an amendment was approved to the Company's articles of association to remove the special rights allocated to the 500 Category A shares (designated by "golden share"). As a consequence of this approval, these shares have no special rights.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the detail of this caption is as follows:

PT SGPS contracted equity swaps over 20,640,000 treasury shares, and recognized those contracts as an effective share acquisition, having generated a liability in the corresponding acquisition amount, in a total of Euro 178,071,826. In December 2011 and 2012, PT SGPS performed an early settlement of the amounts of Euro 84,304,307 and Euro 20,557,440. As a result, the amount in liabilities as of December 31, 2013 amounted to Euro 73,210,079, which was settled on May 7, 2014 (Notes 4 and 16).
Under the strategic partnership between PT SGPS and Oi, under which it was envisaged that Oi would acquire up to 10% of the outstanding shares of PT SGPS, Oi acquired 89,651,205 shares of PT SGPS up to December 31, 2012, representing 10.0% of the share capital. PT SGPS's share in this investment was classified as treasury shares in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and amounted to Euro 159,449,089 as at December 31, 2013. On May 5, 2014, under the Oi capital increase, PT SGPS derecognized these treasury shares indirectly held through the investment in Oi.
Portuguese law provides that at least 5% of each annual profits must be appropriated to a legal reserve until this reserve equals the minimum requirement of 20% of share capital. This reserve is not available for distribution to shareholders but may be capitalized or used to absorb losses, once all other reserves and retained earnings have been exhausted.
As at December 31, 2014, the legal reserve was already fully incorporated in accordance with Portuguese law, and amounted to Euro 6,773,139.00.

(a) As at December 31, 2013, this item corresponded to the fair value of the conversion option included in the securities issued by the Company, in the net amount of Euro 57,145,442, with a corresponding tax load of Euro 13,143,452 (Note 10.2). In 2014, given that its respective financing was transferred to PT Finance as part of the Group's corporate reorganization, both amounts were transferred to retained earnings.
(b) This item corresponds to a reserve which is unavailable for distribution, in the equivalent amount of the nominal value of the cancelled shares or the fair value of the treasury shares held by PT SGPS, and has a legal framework similar to that of the legal reserve. On December 31, 2014 and 2013, this reserve relates to shares canceled on December 20, 2007, March 24, 2008, and December 10, 2008.
(c) In 2013, this item includes the variations in the fair value of interest rate swaps subscribed by the Company and classified as cash flow hedges, net of the tax effect. As at December 31, 2013, the Company no longer held any derivative financial instruments.
(d) Following the physical exercise of the equity swap contracts on 20,640,000 of treasury shares (Note 14.2), the Company consequently holds these shares, and therefore, as per applicable legislation, a reserve, unavailable for distribution, was constituted, in the equivalent amount of the cost of purchase of these shares.

(a) Cumulative translation adjustments registered as a result of the equity method, representing gains of Euro 180,718,523 in 2014, and losses of Euro 596,162,828 in 2013, are essentially related to the impact of the valuation and devaluation of the Real against the Euro, respectively, in relation to the investments in Brazil. Other changes in shareholders' equity resulting from the equity method, amounting to losses of Euro 479,249,073 and Euro 115,146,368 in 2014 and 2013, respectively, essentially include: (1) the effective participation of PT SGPS in other changes in Oi's equity (Euro 471 million and Euro 16 million, respectively); (2) the net actuarial gains and losses acknowledged by PT Comunicacoes as a result of the estimation of their liabilities with retirement benefits (earnings in the amount of Euro 22 million in the first quarter of 2014 and losses in the amount of Euro 140 million during 2013, the latter resulting essentially from the impact of the change in retirement age from 65 to 66 years); and (3) other changes in the equity of other holdings. In 2014, PT SGPS's effective participation in other changes in Oi's equity essentially reflects the following losses registered by this company, directly on their equity: (i) a loss of 2,895 million reais (Euro 373 million corresponding to the participation
of PT SGPS) regarding the classification of the Rio Forte Instruments as own shares, following the agreement between Oi and PT SGPS for the exchange of these instruments for Oi shares held by PT SGPS; and (ii) a loss of 656 million reais (Euro 85 million corresponding to the participation of PT SGPS) relative to the actuarial losses estimated by Oi of its retirement benefit plans, which, since May 5, 2014, include PT Comunicacoes' plans, which were consolidated by PT SGPS until then.
(b) In 2014, these movements correspond to the cumulative amount of changes in equity of company investments, which were transferred to retained earnings during the sale of their respective holdings. In 2013, these movements are in respect of the creation of reassessment reserves by PT Comunicacoes.
In the years of 2014 and 2013, PT SGPS paid dividends in the amounts of Euro 87,587,250 and Euro 284,658,563, respectively.
On April 30, 2014, the Annual Shareholders' Meeting of PT SGPS approved the Board of Directors' proposal to distribute a dividend of 10.0 cents per share, which was paid on May 30, 2014, in the total amount of Euro 87,587,250, in relation to 875,872,500 shares, which includes Euros 2,076,949 (Note 7) paid to Telemar Norte Leste, pertaining to a portion of the 89,651,205 PT SGPS shares held by this company, resulting in a net impact on shareholders' equity amounting to Euro 85,510,301.
On April 19, 2013, the Annual Shareholders' Meeting of PT SGPS approved the Board of Directors' proposal to distribute a dividend of 32.5 cents per share, which was paid on May 17, 2013, in the total amount of Euro 284,658,563, of which Euro 6,744,269 (Note 7) were paid to Telemar Norte Leste, pertaining to a portion of the shares held by this company, corresponding to PT SGPS's effective participation in Oi, with a net result in the company capital of Euro 277,884,294.
The cash amounts mentioned above correspond to the unitary dividend paid considering the 896,512,500 issued shares adjusted by 20,640,000 treasury shares.

The movements in fiscal provisions are a result of the assessment made by management regarding the possibility of the materialization of fiscal contingencies and payments made in relation to contingencies which took place in previous years.
In 2014, PT SGPS wrote-off provisions for fiscal contingencies in the total amount of approximately Euro 27 million, within the framework of an agreement entered into with Oi, in which Oi assumed responsibility for all of the contingencies originating before May 5, 2014, related to PT SGPS subsidiaries or directly related to PT SGPS.
The increase in other provisions amounting to Euro 27,110,319 (Note 25) is related to the Exchange Agreement concluded between PT SGPS and Oi regarding the financial impact of the Exchange agreement entered into with Oi.
Provisions for taxes relate to several tax contingencies regarding Corporate Income Tax, Value Added Tax and Social Security Tax, among other taxes and fees. Provisions for litigation relate to legal actions against the Company, which were estimated based on the opinion of its attorneys.

On May 5, 2014, PT SGPS transferred to PT Portugal most of its loans obtained at the respective nominal amounts, since these loans were included in the valuation of PT Portugal for the purpose of the capital increase of Oi. The Euro 3,674 million change in total net debt essentially reflects the following effects (Note 4): (1) up to May 5, 2014, the refund of amounts due under commercial paper programs, amounting to Euro 398 million, (2)
the transfer of several outstanding financings on May 5, 2014 to other Group companies, for the nominal amount of Euro 3,200 million, and (3) the settlement of equity swap contracts on May 7, 2014, amounting to Euro 73.2 million.
The items below, with the exception of item16.7 correspond to information regarding the funding liabilities as of December 31, 2013:
In 2008, the Company issued 15,000 convertible bonds with a nominal value of Euro 50,000 each. The bonds were issued through a private subscription that was fully subscribed by its subsidiary PT Finance.
The issuance was held to support the issuance by PT Finance in July 2007 of exchangeable bonds convertible into ordinary shares of PT SGPS, denominated "Euro 750,000,000.00, 4.125 per cent Exchangeable Bonds due 2014 exchangeable for new and/or existing ordinary shares of Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A." ("Exchangeable Bonds") in order to enable PT Finance to satisfy conversion requests that eventually may be made by the owners of Exchangeable Bonds. The conditions for the issuance of these convertible bonds replicate the terms of the Exchangeable Bonds.
Exchangeable bonds represent a financial instrument and, accordingly, the market value of the equity component (conversion option into shares) was recognized directly in shareholders' equity as of the date the bonds were issued and amounted to Euro 57,145,442 (Note 14.4), while the financial liability component is recorded by the amortized cost method.
In July 2012, PT SGPS launched a Public Bond Subscription Offering in the Portuguese market for the general public, under the Euro 7,500,000,000 Medium Term Note Program ("EMNT"). The offer was Euro 400 million, which was entirely subscribed (Note 4). These bonds had a four-year term and received interest at a fixed rate of 6.25% per year, to be paid semiannually.
As at December 31, 2013, bank loans include: (1) financings obtained from the European Investment Bank ("EIB"), amounting to Euro 527,142,858, respectively, including a loan of Euro 100,000,000 obtained in May 2012 and maturing in October 2019; and (2) a financing obtained from another financial institution in July 2012 and May 2013, amounting to Euro 100,000,000 and Euro 70,000,000 (Note 4) and maturities in July 2016 and May 2017, respectively.
As at December 31, 2013, PT SGPS had presented guarantees to EIB, amounting to Euro 491,428,571, respectively, related to the above mentioned financings.
Additionally, as at December 31, 2013, the Company was a borrower, jointly with PT Comunicações and PT Finance, of a credit facility in the amount Euro 800 million maturing in June 2016.
The Company was also borrower, jointly with PT Comunicações and PT Finance, in an Export Credit Facility amounting to Euro 180 million, with maturity up to 2023. As at December 31, 2013, PT Finance was using an amount of Euro 400 million and Euro 70 million under the credit facilities mentioned above, respectively.
As at June 25, 1999, the Company issued a commercial paper program which, following several changes made since that date, had a maximum amount of Euro 3,500,000,000 as at December 31, 2013. This program was in place until July 7, 2015, and is automatically renewable for successive periods of two years, until July 7, 2025, unless terminated by either party. As at December 31, 2013 emissions made by the Company under this program amounted to Euro 1,049,000,000.
As at June 1, 2000, the Company issued another commercial paper program which, following several changes made since that date, had a maximum amount of Euro 3,000,000,000 as at December 31, 2013. This program was in place until June 1, 2014, and is automatically renewable for successive periods of two years, until June 1, 2020, unless terminated by either party. As at December 31, 2013 emissions made by the Company under this program amounted to Euro 160,000,000.
PT SGPS entered into several commercial paper programs, under which it has issued a total amount of Euro 542,000,000 as at December 31, 2013, maturing between January and May 2014. In addition, under these programs, the Company had available an underwritten amount of Euro 283 million as at December 31, 2013.
This caption relates to equity swap contracts entered into by PT SGPS over 20,640,000 treasury shares, which were recognized as an effective acquisition of treasury shares, thus implying the recognition of a corresponding financial liability for the respective acquisition cost in the amount of Euro 178,071,826 (Note 14.2). In December 2011 and 2012, PT SGPS settled the amounts of Euro 84,304,307 and Euro 20,557,440 (Note 4), respectively, following which the outstanding amount was reduced to Euro 73,210,079 as at December 31, 2013.
Obligations under finance lease contracts resulted primarily from the lease of transportation equipment, under which there are generally purchase options in the term of these contracts. As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, assets under finance lease contracts recognized in the Company's balance sheet had a carrying amount of Euro 101,959 and Euro 471,941, respectively, and correspond to the caption "Transportation equipment" of the

As at December 31, 2013, the main financial covenants included in financing agreements in which the company intervened were as follows:
The exchangeable bonds, the credit facilities under which the company had entered into financings amounting to Euro 670 million and the loans obtained from EIB totaling Euro 527 million as at December 31, 2013, establish penalties in the case of any change of control of PT SGPS. According to the terms and conditions of these debt instruments, a change of control would occur if any person or group of persons acting in concert acquires or controls more than 50 per cent of the voting rights, whether obtained by ownership of share capital, the holding of voting rights or pursuant to the terms of a shareholders' agreement. In certain cases, gaining the power to appoint or remove all, or the majority, of the directors of the company or to give directions with respect to the operating and financial policies of the company with which the directors of the company are obliged to comply is also considered a change of control.
Bonds issued by PT Finance in 2009 (Euro 750 million), 2011 (Euro 600 million), 2012 (Euro 750 million) and 2013 (Euro 1,000 million) establish penalties in the case of any change of control of PT SGPS, as described above, only if simultaneously a rating downgrade to sub-investment grade occurs or a rating downgrade occurs (in case the securities are sub-investment grade securities) during the Change of Control Period, as defined under the terms and conditions of these notes.
Certain loan agreements with the EIB, totaling Euro 36 million as at December 31, 2013, stated that PT SGPS could be asked to present a guarantee acceptable by the EIB if, at any time, the long-term credit rating assigned by the rating agencies to PT SGPS is reduced from the rating assigned by the time the clause was included (BBB- by S&P, Baa2 by Moody's and BBB by Fitch). As at December 31, 2013, the repayment schedule of the Euro 36 million in 2014.
In 2011, PT SGPS and the EIB agreed to increase the spread of those loans, with no other consequence, as a result of the revision of PT SGPS's credit rating.
On December 23, 2011, Moody's announced the downgrade of PT SGPS's long term rating from Baa3 to Ba1. On February 16, 2012, S&P announced its review of the credit rating attributed to PT SGPS, downgrading the long-term rating from BBB- to BB+, and the short-term rating from A-3 to B. Following these developments, PT SGPS has agreed with the EIB to open a cash deposit amounting to a portion of the amount due under the loan agreements that include the credit rating covenant, pledged in favor of the EIB. The amount deposited in this
account, which amounted to Euro 28 million as at December 31, 2013, will be reduced as loans are repaid. PT SGPS and the EIB have also agreed that further upgrades or downgrades of the credit rating assigned to the Company will lead to, respectively, decreases or increases in the amount deposited, with no other consequence, which is applicable to the downgrade announced by S&P on February 11, 2013, from BB+ to BB, with negative outlook.
Certain credit facilities, under which the Company had contracted loans totaling Euro 670 million, state that PT SGPS must, directly or indirectly, maintain majority ownership and control of each material subsidiary. Material subsidiaries are those companies whose total assets are equal or exceed 10% of total consolidated assets or which total revenues also equal or exceed 10% of total consolidated revenues.
The EIB loans, totaling Euro 527 million as at December 31, 2013, include certain restrictions regarding the disposal of assets by PT SGPS.
Certain credit facilities under which the Company had contracted loans totaling Euro 670 million, require that the ratio Consolidated Net Debt/EBITDA should not exceed certain values.

(a) Under the Oi capital increase, PT SGPS recorded a net profit of approximately Euro 827 million, which mainly reflects the difference between the fair value of the shares obtained in the Oi share capital increase and the carrying value of PT Assets, partially offset by the dilution effect on PT SGPS's previous investment in Oi held through Bratel Brasil and the effect of the remeasurement of the previous investment in Oi to fair value. The above stated net profit includes an Euro 4,565 million gain, directly recorded by PT SGPS and an Euro 3,738 million loss recorded by Bratel Brasil.

(i) The bank and other guarantees presented to the fiscal authorities essentially include Euro 378 million related to the tax assessments received by PT SGPS. The Company presented legal challenges to these assessments and, in accordance with Portuguese law, provided collateral in order to avoid the initiation of enforcement proceedings, which, in the absence of guarantee or payment of the contested tax, would continue until the request of a pledge of sufficient assets to cover the request tax. Portuguese law, while always allowing for the appeal of taxes liquidited by the tax authorities, only suspends enforcement proceedings upon payment of the tax or the provision of a guarantee. Providing a guarantee of security thereby avoids the payment of tax before the appeal decision or attachment of assets in enforcement proceedings. These guarantees were presented by PT SGPS as a controlling company of the consolidated tax in the years in question, even though as at December 31, 2014, the contingencies associated to these guarantees are not the Company's responsibility, having been transferred to Oi (Note 16).
(ii) On December 31, 2014, these bank guarantees were presented PT SGPS to the European Commission under an alleged infringement of article 101 of the TFEU, with reference to the alleged non-compete commitment in the Iberian market between PT SGPS and Telefónica.
Under the agreements entered into with Oi, Oi has to substitute the bank guarantees provided by PT SGPS to the Tax Authority and to the European Commission for guarantees provided by Oi. Where this substitution is not possible due to demands of the counterparty, Oi has undertaken to provide equivalent guarantees in favor of PT SGPS.
On December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not identify entities which, in accordance with IAS 24 provisions, are classified as related parties, except subsidiaries, associated companies and joint enterprises mentioned previously. Notwithstanding this, the Company believes that the disclosure of the outstanding debts and transactions performed with its main shareholders, notably those with a qualified holding of more than 2% in PT SGPS's share capital and with all the entities reported by these shareholders as being their related parties. The tables below present the balances as at December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, and the transactions that took place in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013, between the PT SGPS Group and these entities:

Over the counter (OTC) |
Not applicabl e |
The sub adjacent assets (notional) for the Swap are 22,560,000 PT shares |
PT was further informed that the current communication resulted in the fact that Ongoing constitutes an entity directly related to Mr. PT Directors Dr. Nuno Rocha dos Santos Almeida Vasconcellos and Dr. Rafael Mora Funes, who are also Directors of Ongoing.
As a result of this transaction, Ongoing ended up not directly holding any PT shares. In any case, the qualified holdings in PT are attributable to Ongoing and other controlled entities or controlling entities of Ongoing, including the PT shares held by Dr. Nuno Rocha dos Santos Almeida Vasconcellos.
II. On July 29, 2014, PT communicated that Banco Espírito Santo, S.A. ("BES") communicated that it, and Avsitar, SGPS, S.A. ("Avistar"), society fully held by BES, proceeded, on July 16, 2014, to sign an agreement relative to the over the counter transmission, and at the price of Euro 1.83 per share, of 90,000,000 common shares representing 10.04% of PT's share capital and the corresponding voting rights held by Avistar, in favor of BES.
PT was further informed that the current communications obligation results from the fact that, under the terms and effects of the provision in item b) of no. 4 of the article 248 of the Code for Marketable Securities ("Cód. VM"), BES and Avistar are considered persons directly related to the Non-Executive Directors of PT, Joaquim Goes and Amílcar de Morais Pires, the latter also performing the position of President of the Board of Directors of Avistar.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of separate financial statements which present a true and fair view of the financial position, the results of operations, the changes in shareholders' equity and the cash flows of the Company, for the adoption of adequate accounting policies and criteria and for the maintenance of an appropriate system of internal control, as well as for the disclosure of any significant facts that have influenced its operations, financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders' equity or cash flows.
It is our responsibility to report our independent professional opinion, based on our audit of such financial statements.
Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted Portuguese Statutory Auditing Standards, issued by the Portuguese Institute of Statutory Auditors ("Ordem dos Revisores Oficiais de Contas"), which require our audit to be planned and performed in order to provide reasonable assurance that the separate financial statements are free of material misstatements. Therefore, our audit included examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, and assessment of the significant estimates, which were based on judgements and criteria defined by the Board of Directors, used in the preparation of the financial statements, assessment of the adequacy of the accounting policies adopted and related disclosures, in the circumstances, examination of the adequacy of the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements, and evaluation of the overall adequacy of the presentation of the financial statements.
Our examination also included verifying that the financial information included in the Report of the Board of Directors is in agreement with the separate financial statements, as well as of the matters mentioned in paragraphs 4. and 5. of article 451º of the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code.
We consider that the audit that we performed provides a reasonable basis for the expression of our opinion.
Without affecting our opinion expressed in the previous paragraph, we would draw attention to the following matters:
a) "Investment in Unitel – The value of investment in Unitel, S.A. in the amount of R\$4,157 million as of December 31, 2014, which includes the dividends receivable from that entity in the amount of R\$944 million, was determined by Management according to a business valuation performed to reflect the best estimate of the Company's fair value. We draw attention to the uncertainties disclosed in notes 1 and 28 to the financial statements, due to the fact that the realization value of the aforementioned investment depends on compliance with both the assumptions made in the valuation and the conditions of the sale of Unitel's shares. Our opinion on this matter is unqualified.";
b) "Discontinued operations – We draw attention to note 28 to the financial statements, which describes the final approval by the Board of Directors of Oi S.A. of the general terms and conditions for the sale of all the shares of PT Portugal, SGPS, S.A. to Altice Portugal, S.A., a subsidiary held by Altice S.A. This decision was subsequently approved on January 22, 2015 by the shareholders board meeting of Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A. The effectiveness of the contract also depends on statutory authorizations to be given by the Portuguese antitrust authorities. Accordingly, on December 31, 2014, the Company recognized in its stand alone and consolidated financial statements a loss, as discontinued operations, in the amount of R\$4,164 million. Our opinion on this matter is unqualified."
